BTW @picstart: Is the plastic around the pins yellow or black in your case? It is black.

It is unfortunate that the manufacturers don't silk screen the TFT controller label. Supposedly there is a standard register 0x00 where the controller id is stored but not every manufacturer codes the id or even if they do it can be in different registers. Clones and knock offs are likely to leave the id out. Then there is the initialization code for the tft that can produce other issues.
It would have been nice if this init code was hard coded as the default and loaded automatically. Some commercial and other tft software attempts to be universal and it works on a specific list of tft's but it probably is a fools errand to have code work on all hardware. Often when hardware specific things are buried in code and things have issues it is tiring to go into the code and dig out the problem.
You may have an unknown controller on the yellow pin pcb.
